Wednesday, March 21, 2007 - SAMAX Motorsport driver Milka Duno will be
visiting her favorite racetrack this weekend as the Grand-Am Rolex Sports
Car Series heads into Homestead-Miami Speedway. The 400-kilometer Grand
Prix of Miami, Round 3 of the 14-race 2007 season, is scheduled to start
Saturday March 24 at 2:00 p.m. Duno, who shares the No. 11 CITGO Racing
Pontiac Riley Daytona Prototype with Las Vegas resident Patrick
Carpentier, has scored two of her three Rolex overall wins at the
2.3-mile 11-turn South Florida road course. When she won the Grand Prix
of Miami in February 2004 with co-driver Andy Wallace, Duno became the
first woman to win a major North American sports car race. She repeated
the feat later that year in the second race of the season at Homestead in
late September to sweep both events.

"I'm always very excited to race at Homestead-Miami Speedway - and for
many reasons," said Mika Duno. "Miami is my hometown and the speedway is
where I've enjoyed earning a couple of wins. But it is also the home
track for SAMAX, which means the families and friends of all the crew
have an opportunity to race with us - which makes it all the more
special. Many friends and supporters from CITGO will be here as well, so
I think we'll have a lot of people cheering us on!"

Carpentier is also no stranger to Homestead, even though his five-race
experience is restricted to the oval portion of the speedway. During his
open-wheel days, he finished four times in the top nine with a fifth
place as his best result. Duno and Carpentier are currently tied in third
in the driver standings with 52 points each, only 11 points from Scott
Pruett in first place.

"Even though my racing experience at Homestead is limited to the oval
track, I have tested often on the road racing section as each year we
used Homestead for road course simulation and preparation during the
pre-season," said Carpentier. "I always felt at ease on that track
configuration, so naturally I feel quite confident for the race. The
track has no secrets for me, so there will be no learning curve. The car
was very competitive during the Rolex Series test days last December. I
think we finished fourth, right up there with the leaders."

SAMAX Motorsport sits in third place in the Team Standings with 52
points, 11 points from first place. The team finished second at the
season opener Rolex 24 at Daytona in late January and missed a Top-10
finish in the caution-free Mexico City race earlier this month. After a
20-day layoff, the team feels it is ready for the upcoming 400-kilometer
race on Saturday. Once again, the team strategy will have Milka Duno
qualifying the car and taking the green flag while Patrick Carpentier
will follow up for the second portion of the race.

"At the winter test, the car was incredibly fast," said team owner Peter
Baron. "We opted not to run stickers for a fast lap at the end of the
final day and dropped to fourth. We have made a few refinements on the
car since then, but we are simply placing the set-up on from the end of
the last test aiming to capture the same performance. Milka and Pat have
great track knowledge. We'll have about 30 CITGO VIPs at the race so we
hope to perform at our best for them."
